OUR MISSION

To provide quality project supervision and workmanship through recruitment, training and systems support.

To deliver projects on schedule on budget.

TRUE COMPANY LEADERSHIP
In order for Metalite to lead the industry, we must reach a sequence of operational goals. Simplifying our organization will allow us to streamline our work processes, which will shorten our lead times, and so on. Mastering this sequence consistently, measurably, and nationally—will raise our standards of excellence. It will broaden our strengths and reinforce our leadership position. Developing this momentum begins between us as individuals. From there, leaders must manage, and each manager must follow three guiding principles:

• Lead by example. Build unity among team members by ensuring that each one knows and understands the overall vision—for both the project and the company.
  
• Qualify every day with honesty, energy, and clear communication.
• Generate energy in the people around you by exercising these attributes

Spread truth. Stifle politics. Focus on the best in each person and cultivate the desire to succeed. True leadership inspires imitation, and the spread of that imitation creates genuine success.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
While our Values direct our personal behavior, our Guiding Principles frame the way we do business. As a summary of professional conduct, they describe the behaviors that have helped us achieve our success. In essence, they describe how we can exceed customer expectations.
These principles offer a blueprint for furthering our customers’ goals as well as our own in the process of becoming a true partner for progress.
